Doomsday Restoration

The rust tide has swallowed civilization for more than a hundred years. The remaining humans huddled in the Iron Wall City, ruled by the dictator Pei Zheng with an iron fist. Outside the city is the gray belt, a place of death eroded by nanomachines. All people infected by nanomachines are considered monsters and are expelled or executed. Shen Shen is an inconspicuous "data restorer" at the bottom of Iron Wall City, barely making a living by restoring people's data on old-era hard drives. No one knew that the power of the Gray Belt flowed in his body, and that his father Shen Weizhou, who had been missing for ten years, was the core figure in this disaster. When a chip that has been sleeping for many years suddenly wakes up, and a coordinate pointing to the depths of the gray belt surfaces, Silence is forced to embark on a road of no return. Between the ruins and steel, he will uncover the truth about the rust tide, and will eventually face the ultimate question—— When his body is gradually swallowed by metal, is he still human?
